Thank you for explaining the story about the Dalai Lama. I would wish you to make a clip about the story of The Dalai Lama so it can be shared so people to learn the truth

Stay positive, avoid negative people,.. Smile its contagious. Watch out for # 1 dont step in # 2 and help others without expecting a reward .. If you cant help yourself you cant help others

Man I saw that video and you can never change my mind on what I looked like to me. If I done this to my child they would be put into protective custody. Whatever

THANK YOU, Dr. Hymen, for the cultural context around the Dalai Lama’s offhand comment. Something always felt wrong, “off”, about the prurient interpretation of it. And amplified by Chinese media? Uh huh. It all makes sense now.

Dan Harris, you speak to my soul! Thank you soo much Mark for bring this forth! Ioften feel that I am inadequate in my efforts and must be a weird one that really does not belong here at all for I do see and feelthe incrediblemiracle we all are...the world is, the totality ofall is and am thrilled by it....want to share it, so desire to live it and struggle to share it verbaly....and here you two are....doing it and Dan I will be listening to your podcast very often......you speak to my soul!! Bless you both!!

I’m happy and not stressed. Trust God the Father of Jesus and Him only,

Happiness is the Lord!!! 🙏🏻

Happiness is a decision, not a happening. As long as anyone thinks that it's experience is a result of an external event, then your happiness is will always be evasive. Peace that passes all understanding is available to those who seek the One True Way. Best of luck to everyone on their journey, your eternity counts on it. Truth isn't relative :)

Mark Hyman you need to decrease the bass in your vocal mix, add more mid frequencies . The clarity isn't the best. Try a pro sound guy to find the issue. It could be your microphone type. It could be the room aswell.Regards Steve

This is a great episode, thank you!

The PHYSICAL helps the MENTAL. The body triggers need to be calmed. Going inside to the silence is healing.

Fascinating cultural explanation of Dali Llama thank you

Love that you cleared that . 🙏🥰🥰 namaste 🙏

Thank you Dr Hymen and Mr Harris for explaining the situation about the Dalia lama . My uncle in Tibet is in jail right now for keeping the Dalia lama picture in his house .

“ happy are those conscience of a spiritual needs” Matthew 5:3 New world translation

Besides meditation, IFS therapy has made the biggest change for me.

Happiness is… contentment, connection, satisfaction, acceptance… and two kinds of ice cream. 😂

I already know why it's cause my mom is dead from cancer this year Jan 25th 1960-2023

That s wat u think..i am happy and joyful person lol😜🤪🤣🤣

You mentioned the work of Dan Brown. Do you have a link to find out more?

❤❤

Mark Hyman, care to explain the $1.2M that the Dalai Lama received in 1992 from Shoko Asahara, the cult leader of Aum Shinrikyō, which was responsible for the Tokyo sarin gas bombing?

How would you define that amoldable stuff we all call the brain

Wow thank you being sexually abused it freaked me out

You just had to slip a Trump slam in there. Your guest said you can disagree with someone but not demonize them. Where's all your love, Doc? Needs work...

Oh brother more god complex claptrap

Tchaaaaa, you know what? na-a. sorry. Some of us have known this Llama guy has not been a good guy. he has been for a long time: a fake. an impostor. a pretender. a liar. long long before this particular incident. sorry, sorry. 😢

Demons LOVE yoga

Hey Mark do us a favor and lay OFF politics!!

Buddhism and psychedelics good. Evolution and big bangs are assumed true as if the mountain of evidence, yes, scientific evidence, to the contrary doesn't exist. when you start with wrong assumptions, u arrive at wrong conclusions. ok, and so what is wrong with "Love your neighbor as yourself"? no no nono. Christianity couldn't possibly have the answer to everything Buddhism does only more and better. keep spinning your wheels.

Wow....I respected Dr Hyman and now Im just going to take the facts and leave the 'I like Dr Hyman' out of it. Seems everyone is into pedophilia, its a sick theme

Your right cheek looks puffy.

Mark Hyman, what's your interpretations of the close working relationship between the Dalai Lama and the CIA and the payments his Holiness received from the agency? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_Tibetan_program#International_lobbying
